Huawei Signs Deal to Develop 5G Network in Russia
Jun. 6, 2019Chinese giant Huawei has signed a deal with Russian telecom operator MTS to develop a 5G network in the country over the course of the next year. The deal was signed on the sidelines of a meeting between the presidents of the two countries, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.
The agreement between Huawei and MTS comes at a good time for Huawei, considering the US imposed ban on the company has been causing it quite a lot of trouble in the global market with various US technology giants ceasing business dealings with the company. Last month, Googlerestricted Huawei’s Android license, and kicked out theMate 20 Pro from the Android Q betabeforereinstating the phonelater that month. Microsoft alsoremoved Huawei laptopsfrom its official store, and companies such asARM also ceased business dealingswith the company.
Things did turn for the better for Huawei later last month with theSD Associationand WiFi alliance bringing the company back into their members lists, but until the US imposed ban on Huawei is sorted out, the company remains in troubled waters.
